INGREDIENTS
1 lb sausage (your choice: pork, turkey, or chicken)
2 cups milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
1 package of puff pastry, thawed (or homemade if you prefer)
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add salt, black pepper, ground sage, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Pie:
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface if needed. Place one sheet in a pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Pour the sausage gravy mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish.
Top with the second sheet of puff pastry, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Serve:
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy this hearty dish!
